Johanna Report post Posted August 4, 2007 More sad news this morning. Dan Thomas, grandson of Darwin Ohlerking, asked me to pass this along to everyone: Hello Everyone, It is with a sad heart that I wish to inform the leather art community that Darwin Ohlerking passed away this morning (4 August 2007) after a brief battle with liver cancer. We did happen upon some of the posters' comments regrading my grandfather which we shared with him and he valued highly. If you wish to send words of sympathy or memories to his wife, you may e-mail them to me here and I will see to it that she receives them, or mail them to her directly at: Jo Ohlerking 515 N. Kirkwood Eagle Grove, IA 50533 Sincerely, Dan Thomas (grandson) Dan, I will be sure to send condolences to your grandmother. I admired your grandfather's work, and was lucky enough to meet him at several shows, years ago. He was generous with his time and explanations, and had many friends in the leatherworking community. He will be missed, and our sympathy is with your family. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
